Sámi Educational History in a Comparative International Perspective

This book provides a comprehensive overview of S mi education in a historical and internationally comparative perspective. Despite the cross-national character of the S mi population, academic literature on S mi education has so far been published within the different nation states in the S mi area, and rarely in English. Exploring indigenous educational history around the world, this collection spans from Asia to Oceania to S pmi and the Americas. The chapters frame S mi school history within an international context of indigenous and minority education. In doing so, two narrative threads are established: both traditional history of education, and perspectives on the decolonisation of education. This pioneering book will appeal to students and scholars of S mi education, as well as indigenous education around the world.
